  1. Dodgers 1 run on 1 hit, Cubs 0 runs on 6 hits
  2. Thanks for making everyone worse Chili Edit: except Heyward. Somehow you fixed him
  3. https://twitter.com/johnfitzgibbon3/status/1011757151352709123?s=21
  4. So currently on the DL are Bryant, Darvish, Morrow and Edwards. Good thing none of them (save maybe Darvish) seem serious
  5. Fangraphs wrote about it today https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jon-lesters-high-wire-act/
  6. Remember when he actually won EOY?
  7. Kind of knew this already but yay our best starter is having a historically lucky season https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jon-lesters-high-wire-act/
  8. Remember when the Dodgers were 10 games under .500? Now 0.5 games worse than the Cubs
  9. This week. Unless that performance against the Reds on Sunday counted, we are due for our patented “everything’s alright” 13+ run outburst. Should win that one unless our bullpen implodes again
  10. There is no rational explanation for it. It's not like our hitters look any different or visibly change much as far as I can tell. They just stop getting hits, or even productive outs, doing whatever it is they're doing. Right and if it was just this year or this year and last you’d have more patience for it to correct itself. But they were average in 2016 and bottom 5 in 2015 as well. And Theo specifically pointed to situational hitting when adding Chili so he understands there is something broken. So far it hasn’t been fixed so now what?
  11. 4 years of constantly being toward the bottom of the league in these situations. Changed hitting coaches and it’s only seemed to get worse. What will fix it? Actually changes to the core?
  12. I’m sorry to say this but a small part of me enjoyed that, which means we’ve officially entered fun bad territory
  13. Well he’s 3-26 with 0 XBH as a Cub and gave up 3 runs pitching so...I’m sure he’s a fine defensive catcher though...
  14. lol. Well no one scored. Maybe he can go 4 innings at this rate?
  15. Why would you bother paying for a meal for the other team? It's cool I guess. I think he just wants to be loved
  16. I completely forgot about that game but it has all come back to me now. Man we play some weird ass games against the Rockies at Wrigley -The 01 game where (I think) Ricky Gutierrez stumbles around 3rd as the winning run, gets caught in a rundown and still manages to score (might be getting details wrong) -The 07 game above -The huge 8 run comeback game in 08 -Kris Bryant somehow gets a clutch hit after Cubs blow big lead in 9th in 15
  17. Underwood is coming to save the day tomorrow!
  18. Garrett and Iglesias, it's all but over If the Cubs win, you agree to stop watching for the rest of the season. It’s funny that his 2 big things are 1) calling out people who are overreactionary about Joe and/or calling out fans (aka #CubsTwitter) for irrational comments 2) making overreactionary and/or irrational comments about the Cubs as a whole being awful and gutless choking dogs
  19. The shitty part of series like this is that we are supposed to be building a buffer for when we have that like 24 games in 23 day stretch later in the year
  20. To be fair, our pen has like five guys who started in Iowa on it. For sure. The Morrow and Edwards injuries are killing us more than 2 pen guys being out should
  21. Sounds crazy but we’re still in this. Let’s get a rally going and salvage the weekend
  22. Not a great week for the pen... Sunday in St Louis, the 9th inning in Game 1 of the DH, blowing leads in 3 of the 4 games this weekend. Turning a fairly close game into a blowout in the other game
